Library of the Hellenic Institute

Castello 3412
30122 Venezia VE

The Library focuses on all aspects of Byzantine and Post-Byzantine history, philology and especially the Greek territories subjected to Venetian domination and important works on Italian and European history and literature.

Its central core is made up of all the books that were salvaged from the vast collection of the library of Collegio Flanghinis , some two thousand titles printed at the Greek printers of Venice from the 16th to 18th centuries. Most of these ancient books were published by the Glykis and Theodosiou printers and are by and large ecclesiastical and education theory texts. However, there are also works in demotic language (works of Crete literature, stories in verse). The library strives to cover all aspects of Byzantine and Post-Byzantine history, philology and especially the Greek territories subjected to Venetian domination and important works on Italian and European history and literature. The Institute's library is the only one in Italy to have the most complete series of Greek periodicals.
 

The library is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
